[aussie1st]

Ooops seems like I made a mistake with Hussey as a batter, bowler and allrounder, only noticed when I made my team.

 

[ZexyZahid]

[ZexyZahid]

I think I will have a lot of Australians in my team. And not many English players.

 

[Hariz]

Many ppl have already picked their teams and have not selected any Westindien players, will it remain like this for them or will they edit their teams now :

 

[surendar]

Starting off with negative points.... Flintoff is in my team Also dont have either Pathan or Munaf...

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've got Flintoff and it was a risk, since I knew he wouldn't bowl. So -15 points from him. And I've got Patel, but match has yet began, so a lot of things can happen.

 

[surendar]

Another player down for me...Strauss

I didnt pick Pathan this time...He got two wickets!!! :
If Pathan gets runs also, then he might be the worthful captain this time..Lets see!!!
I hope that Its enough for Pathan to get two wickts

 

[aussie_ben91]

I picked Pietersen, Strauss, Flintoff, Agarker, Tendulkar & Lewis. Well Flintoff won't ball and he made a duck so I'm going to be way behind. I'm hoping Pietersen makes 120+..............................DAMN! Pietersen gone, caught by Tendulkar who I wanted to top Pietersen's score... :@ I'm screwed, I'ma focus on me group b team now.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Of English side I've got only Flintoff and Dalrymple. Dalrymple scored 24 runs and normally gets some wickets. But with the total England scored I even think he won't even bowl, since normally he bowls at around the 20 overs mark and India could reach the target before the start of the 20 overs mark.

Update after the 1st ODI: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/iccct2006/engine/match/249745.html

I am at number 32, but the players at the top had most of the players of their team playing in the 1st ODI. After the 2nd ODI we can get a clearer view how the standings are.

[Afridi no 1]

im on 45th place only beacuse of Flintoff in my team... And i dont have Munaf also.. ..

 

[ZexyZahid]

I think including Flintoff will prove a mistake. And I didn't include Pathan and now he has got about 73 points.

Hopefully my captain Watson, will do like what he did in Malaysia and in the previous ODI warm-up matches. And I chose him, since he is likely to open the innings:
